all in our St Joseph’s Catholic School community to consistently live

MISSION STATEMENT

St Joseph’s Catholic School will live its
important role as a Catholic Primary School founded on the teachings of
Jesus Christ and the charism of the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred
Heart. This will be reflected in the respect and care shown for each
person within our school community.

St Joseph’s Catholic School will be a
welcoming learning community in which students, teachers and parents
collaborate to provide an environment where the worth and dignity of
each person is acknowledged, appreciated and celebrated and where each
student may grow and develop to their full potential in an atmosphere of
love, belonging and security.

As members of a formative learning
community, teachers, working with parents, the primary educators of the
children, will complement and extend the development of the whole child
to meet spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional and social needs.

The promotion of life-long learning for
all will be at the heart of our community. We aim to equip our students
with the understandings, skills and knowledge necessary to make learning
desirable and achievable now and in the future.

St Joseph’s Catholic School is committed
to ongoing growth and betterment to ensure that the school maintains
the position of educator of choice within the wider community.
